摘要:

我们提出了2厘米和3.6厘米波长的甚长基线干涉图像的紧凑的无线电连续源在附近的超亮红外星系Arp 220。基于它们的射电光谱和变化特性,我们确认这些源是超新星(SNe)和超新星遗迹(SNRs)的混合物。在检测到的17个源中,我们在两个波长下解决了7个。SNe通常只有上限大小。相比之下,所有SNR均在直径{ \geq } 0.27 pc时得到解决。这个尺寸限制与它们刚刚进入Sedov相是一致的,当时它们嵌入在密度为10^4 cm^{-3}的星际介质(ISM)中。这些天体依赖于信噪比的直径-光度相关性(也依赖于直径-表面亮度关系),并将这些相关性扩展到非常小的源。数据符合关系式L { \propto } D^{-9/4}。修正的均分参数调整到磁场相对论粒子能量密度比为1%,结合合理的同步辐射体积填充因子为10%,估计SNR壳层的磁场强度为~ 15-50 mG。SNR外壳磁场不太可能来自环境ISM场的压缩,而是必须由内部产生。我们为ISM磁场设置了7 mG的上限。相对论性粒子的能量估计为爆炸动能的2%-20%,与致密星暴星系红外-射电相关模型的估计一致。

英文摘要:

We present 2 cm and 3.6 cm wavelength very long baseline interferometry images of the compact radio continuum sources in the nearby ultra-luminous infrared galaxy Arp220. Based on their radio spectra and variability properties, we confirm these sources to be a mixture of supernovae (SNe) and supernova remnants (SNRs). Of the 17 detected sources we resolve 7 at both wavelengths. The SNe generally only have upper size limits. In contrast all the SNRs are resolved with diameters {\geq} 0.27 pc. This size limit is consistent with them having just entered their Sedov phase while embedded in an interstellar medium (ISM) of density 10^4 cm^{-3} . These objects lie on the diameter-luminosity correlation for SNRs (and so also on the diameter-surface brightness relation) and extend these correlations to very small sources. The data are consistent with the relation L {\propto} D^{-9/4}. Revised equipartition arguments adjusted to a magnetic field to relativistic particle energy density ratio of 1% combined with a reasonable synchrotron-emitting volume filling factor of 10% give estimated magnetic field strengths in the SNR shells of ~ 15-50 mG. The SNR shell magnetic fields are unlikely to come from compression of ambient ISM fields and must instead be internally generated. We set an upper limit of 7 mG for the ISM magnetic field. The estimated energy in relativistic particles, 2%-20% of the explosion kinetic energy, is consistent with estimates from models that fit the IR-radio correlation in compact starburst galaxies.
